"Just as we expected, Joe Lieberman didn't become the next American Idol this week either," she said. "The primary we're focused on takes place on Aug. 8."

Retorted Lamont campaign manager Tom Swan: "While Joe was getting an award from another of George Bush's best friends, thousands of Connecticut voters were voting for change and voting for Ned Lamont." Swan was referring to a group Lieberman has helped revive along with Reagan administration alums like Jeane Kirkpatrick, called the Committee on the Present Danger.

DNC Chairman Howard Dean says the DNC will not take sides in the CT senate primary. Wish the DSCC would follow suit - or at the very least agree that they will unequivocally support the Democrat in November.

Plenty of opportunities to volunteer this long weekend, mainly visibility events at Memorial Day parades today, tomorrow, and Monday.
